  • Patent number: 11913934
    Abstract: Systems and methods to determine a characteristic of a drilling fluid are presented. A method to determine a characteristic of a drilling fluid includes obtaining a measurement of a mud density of a drilling fluid formed from a mixture of a plurality of components. The method also includes obtaining a measurement of a thermal conductivity of the drilling fluid and determining an error function of a calculation of characteristics of the drilling fluid, where the error function is indicative of a threshold difference between the calculation of the characteristics of the drilling fluid and the characteristics of the drilling fluid obtained from retort data of a fluid distillation process. The method further includes determining, based on the error function, an oil water ratio of the drilling fluid and an average specific gravity of the drilling fluid.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10989646
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure generally relate to real time characterization of material recovered from a subterranean formation, based on magnetic properties. A system comprises an enclosure comprising electromagnetic shielding; an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) disposed within the enclosure; and a sample conduit extending into the enclosure, the sample conduit configured to receive a subterranean material recovered from a wellbore, the OPM configured to detect a magnetic response of the subterranean material.

  • Patent number: 10166574
    Abstract: A method is disclosed that includes fabricating a screen panel support frame having a curved non-planar shape, wherein the curved non-planar shape has a first amount of post-fabrication curvature. The method further includes performing a screen panel unitization process to unitize the screen panel support frame having the first post-fabrication amount of curvature with at least a plurality of layers of screening material, the screen panel unitization process reducing the curvature of the screen panel support frame from the first post-fabrication amount of curvature to a second post-unitization amount of curvature that is less than the first post-fabrication amount.
